Programs designed to monitor user activity. They may be used with or without consent. Because it is sold commercially, many anti-virus vendors do not detect them. The most common form of a commercial monitoring tool comes in the form of a keystroke logger, which intercepts keystrokes from the keyboard and records them in a log. This can then be sent to whoever installed the software, or keylogger, onto the machine. Some Commercial Monitoring Software may take screenshots or video and send the information to an outbound connection.

From their website:
"Situation: Lately your husband or wife is spending more time on the computer during the day or late at night chatting with so called friends. You simply install our software on the computer when their not home. Then for the next day or two let them chat online as they have been doing. You then go back to the computer and access the password protected hidden data viewer (which only you know how to access) and view EXACTLY EVERYTHING they did on the computer for the last two days. A built-in printing feature lets you print out all the information with the click of one button! Very easy to use. It's the easiest way to monitor any computer!"
